Foreign Military Financing: Trinidad and Tobago


The Bush Administration's budget presentation for 2003 explains, "Foreign Military Financing (FMF) funds will contribute to preventative maintenance and improvement of the maritime drug interdiction capability of the Trinidad and Tobago Defense forces. Trinidad and Tobago is focusing renewed attention on its coast guard fleet and will be overhauling four 82-foot cutters. FY 2003FMF funds will help establish an aggressive preventative maintenance program to sustain the GOTT's maritime fleet used to combat transnational crime." [1]
